The EU sanctions on Iran in late January 2026 included:

1. Trade tariffs only
2. Diplomatic boycott
3. Terrorist designation
4. UN suspension

The European Union’s January 29, 2026 sanctions package against Iran included the landmark designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization. This designation carried criminal penalties for EU citizens providing financial or material support to the IRGC and asset freezes. Additional measures targeted IRGC-affiliated entities and individuals involved in regional destabilization activities and protest repression.
